Hope and Ali tackle another #OpenTopic episode. Yet one more
incident of FHRITP occurs to a female journalist, and it kicks off
an investigation as to whether men have to deal with the
equivalent. A bottle washes ashore in Cape Breton and sparks a
mystery. This week's improvisation highlights the fact that in
death, you really ought to be concerned for the ones left holding
the bag here on earth. And finally, Hope and Ali offer a literary
salute to some key #Canadian Women in our #Haiku segment.

Tattoos, pigtails, micro mini skirts, and blatant disregard
for civil behaviour. When do you draw the line? Hope and Ali ask
the burning question "how old is too old?". Ali has a dream with
surprisingly banal results. Be ready to take notes as they go
through the do's and don'ts of bar behaviour and Hope experiences
an existential crisis thanks to Cosmo. This week's improv takes a
wacky turn following the shenanigans of two old friends
at a music festival, which is a sad, far cry away from the
absolutely fabulous Patsy and Edina. Hope makes a big promise
involving #nkotb. 'nuff said.

Hope and Ali fall victim to a well played prank and explore what it means to live in a Fuller House. Perhaps the notion of living with your mother isn't so bad, but it can depend on where you're from.

Is our hand being forced in some ways to rethink our lifestyle? Don't worry, we talk about John Stamos' butt. This week's improv explores the effects of multi-generational living on the dating scene.

They discuss why days such as these are still necessary and celebrate some notable women from diverse backgrounds and they expand on more subtle reasons as to what makes some people stand out amongst the crowd.
